Course module system

The University of Innsbruck - Faculty of Business and Management offers a modular course system at different levels. The module system below is new and was introduced 2019/20. It might be not easy to understand but the module system will be exactly explained in the introduction - so do not worry!

Every module consists of 4 hours per week. One academic hour is 45 minutes. Every module includes an input-oriented (VO = lecture) and an interactive part (PS/SE/VU/UE = proseminar/seminar) OR 2 interactive parts.
All modules will be assessed by written exams and group works and/or oral exams. The student has to sit written exams (Klausur) in the PS/SE/VU/UE classes during the semester. PS/SE/VU/UE interactive parts have to be passed in order to be eligible to sit the final exam (Gesamtprüfung) at the end of the semester.
Students passing the final exam (Gesamtprüfung) receive 7.5 ECTS credits for each module. The number of students in a module is usually limited to 30-40 students. Only a limited number of modules is taught in English.
Modules without any lecture part (VO) do not have a final exam.

Modules taught in German require good command of German (B2 at least). We therefore strongly recommend to brush up German language skills!

Modules offered in the Basic Studies of the International Economic and Business Studies Programme ("1. Studienabschnitt" = 1st and 2nd year) are NOT open for exchange students - only with exception! Business language modules are only open for exchange students in the second run (still available places) of the module registration.

Attention: German language courses at the ISI or courses at other faculties have a different course system

Master students - usually do not have lecture parts but two interacive parts. ECTS credits and workload ist higher. Master students do not have a final exam week. The module ends with the two part of courses at the end of the semster. This also applies for Bachelor students, in case of no lecture part in the module

  Modules offered in the Basic Studies of the International Economic and Business Studies Programme ("1. Studienabschnitt" = 1st and 2nd year) are NOT open for exchange students! 

Business language modules are only open for exchange students in the second run (still available places) of the module registration.

Enrolment and registration for business course modules

General procedure: Undergraduate incoming exchange students at the University of Innsbruck - Faculty of Business and Management with a "Matrikelnummer" (matriculation number) and a student ID from the University of Innsbruck have to register online for the modules of study year 3 and 4. Every exchange student has 2,000 points available to register for four modules per semester in the undergraduate program. The amount of points can be allocated by preference of the student.

Support for the course enrolement: The course module enrolment will take place in the introduction and orientation week. Course module enrolment is only open for registered students, i.e. the computer system  LFU online   will only work after you have created a personal account at the University of Innsbruck (notice that this registration is not the same as the general application).

Entrance exams: Some modules require entrance exams. The entrance exam is meant to be a preparation for the module and not a restriction. However, since some modules are project works with a limited number of participants, only those students who are prepared best can be accepted! The entrance exams will be held 7-10 days after the semester starts. Students have to study respective literature.
